單萜苷類化合物是許多常用中藥的有效成分，期結(jié)構(gòu)類型主要包括無環(huán)、單環(huán)、雙環(huán)、三環(huán)單萜苷及環(huán)烯醚萜苷，具有抗菌、抗炎、抗腫瘤、保肝、降血糖等藥理作用。綜述了近10年來從天然藥物中分離得到的單萜苷類化學成分及其藥理活性的研究進展，為該類成分的開發(fā)利用提供參考。

Monoterpene glucosides are the effective constituents in many commonly used traditional Chines medicine. Based on structural analysis, these compounds are mainly divided into the following types: acyclic monoterpene glucosides, monocyclic monoterpene glucosides, bicyclic monoterpene glucosides, tricyclic monoterpene glucosides, and iridoid glucosides. Furthermore, monoterpene glucosides have multiple pharmacological activities, such as antibiosis, anti-inflammation, antitumor, hepatoprotective and antidiabetic activities. This paper summarizes researches in the past 10 years on monoterpene glucosides isolated from natural products and their pharmacological activities, so as to provide scientific basis for exploitation of monoterpene gluosides.
